 Your loaner machine apparently has one glaring deficiency:  it does not
 have the "Application Development Toolkit" program installed.  This
 package is a prerequisite to all the languages offered under AIX PS/2.
 In particular, it has 'cc'.  Once you have it installed, you should
 have no trouble using 'cc' to compile both .c and .f files; 'cc' will
 call the appropriate commands for the two types of source files.
